Article Abstract
Human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) fitness declines following exposure to stressors that reduce survival, dormancy, telomere maintenance, and self-renewal, thereby accelerating aging. While previous National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) research revealed immune dysfunction in low-earth orbit (LEO), the impact of spaceflight on human HSPC aging had not been studied. To study HSPC aging, our NASA-supported Integrated Space Stem Cell Orbital Research (ISSCOR) team developed bone marrow niche nanobioreactors with lentiviral bicistronic fluorescent, ubiquitination-based cell-cycle indicator (FUCCI2BL) reporter for real-time HSPC tracking in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven CubeLabs. In month-long International Space Station (ISS) missions (SpX-24, SpX-25, SpX-26, and SpX-27) compared with ground controls, FUCCI2BL reporter, whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing, and cytokine arrays demonstrated cell-cycle, inflammatory cytokine, mitochondrial gene, human repetitive element, and apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like 3 (APOBEC3) deregulation together with clonal hematopoietic mutations. Furthermore, HSPC functionally organized multi-omics aging (HSPC-FOMA) analyses revealed reduced telomere maintenance, adenosine deaminase acting on RNA1 (ADAR1) p150 self-renewal gene expression, and replating capacity indicative of space-associated HSPC aging that may limit long-duration spaceflight.

Hematopoietic multipotent progenitors (MPPs) regulate blood cell production to meet the evolving demands of an organism. Adult human MPPs remain ill defined, whereas mouse MPPs are well characterized, with distinct immunophenotypes and lineage potencies. Using multi-omic single-cell analyses and functional assays, we identified distinct human MPPs within Lin-CD34+CD38dim/lo adult bone marrow with unique biomolecular and functional properties.

Human and murine studies reveal that innate immune cells are able to mount enhanced responses to pathogens after primary inflammatory exposure. Innate immune memory has been shown to last for months to years, longer than the lifespan of most innate immune cells. Indeed, long-lived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) serve as a cellular reservoir for innate immune memory.

The continuous accumulation of senescent hematopoietic stem progenitors (HSPCs) contributes to hematopoietic damage. Benzene is a confirmed human carcinogen, and its damage to HSPCs is a key event in benzene poisoning. However, whether the environmental dose of benzene is involved in HSPC damage by inducing cellular senescence has not been reported.

Hematopoietic aging is characterized by chronic inflammation associated with myeloid bias, hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) accumulation, and functional HSC impairment. Yet it remains unclear how inflammation promotes aging phenotypes. Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) both responds to and directs inflammation, and we present an experimental model of elevated NF-κB activity ("inhibitor of κB deficient" [IκB]) to dissect its role in hematopoietic aging phenotypes.
